Introduction
This user manual, which targets application developers, provides complete information on how to use
the ST75MM in applications by describing the host interface, the available protocol services and the MIB
accessible through the host interface. For ordering information, mechanical and electrical device
characteristics, please refer to the ST75MM datasheet available at www.st.com.

Page 6: Host Interface
Host interface UM2241 Host interface Settings The host interface is used to interface the ST75MM to the host controller, it allows exchanging data, configuration and control messages. The host interface can be managed by the host controller with a half-duplex asynchronous serial port (UART) plus an additional synchronization signal which will be referenced, in this document as TREQ. -
Page 7: Acknowledge
UM2241 Host interface Section 1.7: "Examples" contains some examples on how complex operations shall be managed between the host controller and the ST75MM. Acknowledge In order to improve the serial link robustness, every frame except the SM must be acknowledged by the receiver within a given period T (host interface timings are managed through a dedicated MIB object, see Section 3.1: "MIB objects"... -

UM2241 Host interface commands MIB_Write This command is initiated by the host controller to request a modification on a specific MIB object, the MIB object index and the expected new value are embedded in the payload of the .request message, while the .confirm messages carry the information about the success of the operation. -
